Batavia, NY

Down to Earth Approach included vocalist/guitarist Jonathan Lullo, guitarist Ryan McClurg, bassist John McCampbell, and drummer Peter Metzler. After a few false starts in their native New York, the band really started to roll around 2000, when they moved to California and their sound solidified around a robust emo/indie rock style influenced by bands like Sunny Day Real Estate and the Get Up Kids. Vagrant Records took interest in the group, and issued Another Intervention, their debut LP, in early 2004. ~ Johnny Loftus
